That's how I feel. There is a park near my house that has a bunch of those spots, I'm gonna check that out on my bike one of these days. I'm pissed I caught a Bulbasaur instead of Charmander or Squirtle.

Fuckin Bulbasaur sucks.

This game is going to cause so many problems. My whole town is covered in zombies with their noses in their phones without any awareness of their surroundings. So many people driving and pokemon-going (need a better word for this). You can watch as drivers slow down passing pokestops and swerving all over the place. Not to mention the amount of creeps hanging around gyms and pokestops.

With that being said I'm addicted and this game is awesome.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever witnessed. This game is just plain idiotic I can't see the appeal behind it. I see SO many people walking around NYC with their faces in the phones looking for these digital creatures.

I give it ONE WEEK MAX before someone dies playing this game

Riding a chairlift counts as walking... So if you don't actually want to walk, go skiing.

Stupid fuckin phone. I checked my google account access, no Pokemon Go. So I dont know how, but they dont have access.



Also what if the server crashes are strategic to get people to look up and enjoy where they are. But instead, everyone's just reloading their app.

Statistically, with the amount of people playing this game I'm sure there have already been car accidents and they've just been unreported being connected to pokemon go. Death however, is eminent.

Obviously I don't want people to die....but in order for me to win the bet someone has to die playing the game

I agree, and we cant really blame the app developers for these accidents when most people have absolutely zero self-control/are really dumb.


im an asshole, but I find it kinda funny (besides hurt innocent people) that dipshits are possibly blasting through intersections because there is a blastoise down the road. its a shame they have to bring others with them, though,


that story of the girl in montucky finding the dead body is lols and it was like maybe 48 hrs after the app dropped, maybe even less.

You can't blame the app developers, they are genius really. But the way the game is played encourages moving around, and given our nation's expertise in laziness, it should be obvious people are going to drive and play. Clearly they avoid liability for this with the big "be aware of your surroundings" warning page every time the app is launched.

On another note, can you imagine how stoked verizon and other mobile carriers must be for this game? The spike in data usage this month from last must be insane. I've never seen so many people on their phones before.

Smh or you could be a decent fucking parent and teach your kids that running across a highway at rush hour is a God damned dumbass idea.

If you have android there are a bunch of gps spoofer apps that work well that I'm sure would work with this game. Some you can probably set predetermined tracks. Then the game can totally loose its appeal when you realize you can do it all from home.
